I did not want to persuade someone to thoughtlessly start a kamikaze operation, of course not. Personally speaking, I am far from being the perfect repairman, but compared to my initial tinkering stage several years ago I have made good progress and have purposefully bought sad victims of heavy camera abuse and restored them to full function. You can still see the scars on the bodies, so to speak, but they have all become good picture takers again. If had been given some encouragement to try more complicated gear earlier I'd have started sooner than I actually did. The good advice from many people here on this forum (some of those have left for good, it seems) has helped me to develop skills I did not even know that I had them! A seriously broken (in the literal sense of the word) K auto S2: no problem any longer. A seriously damaged Min Hi-M 7 or 9: a cinch! SLRs are a different matter, I know. But one has to start somewhere, somehow. |
